In the mechanical design of 5-axis machining centers, machine tool manufacturers have always been unremittingly committed to developing new motion modes to meet various requirements. In summary, there are various types of five-axis machine tools currently on the market. Although there are various mechanical structures, there are mainly the following forms:
Two rotating coordinates directly control the direction of the tool axis (double swing head form)
The two coordinate axes are at the top of the tool, but the rotation axis is not perpendicular to the linear axis (pitch type swing head type)
Two rotating coordinates directly control the rotation of the space (double turntable form)
The two coordinate axes are on the workbench, but the rotation axis is not perpendicular to the linear axis (pitch type workbench)
Two rotating coordinates, one acting on the tool, and one acting on the workpiece (one swing and one rotation)
